This article aims to present the Dialogical Thematic Analysis, its epistemological foundations and its application to a context of qualitative research with children. Based on the conception of language developed by the Bakhtin Circle, we present the theoretical foundations that support this type of analysis, which include: the dialogical character of language, the understanding of words as ideological signs and the concept of theme. Other concepts are also discussed, such as utterance addressing and otherness, which guide the analysis in such a way that every statement of the participant is considered in relation to the other – or to the others – to whom he/she addresses. After an initial explanation, we present a practical application of the Dialogical Thematic Analysis to the information produced in a research with children about the presence of technologies in their lives. The conversation circle was adopted as a methodological procedure in order to produce the information with the children.

Keywords : dialogical thematic analysis; conversation circle; children.
